In her interview to MMA.Metaratings.ru, the UFC fighter from Kazakhstan Mariya Agapova told about preparation for the bout against the Ukrainian Maryna Moroz and sparring with guys.
Now I am training with Roger in the gym, in the American Top Team Sunrise. We discussed Maryna. Roger prepared Valérie Létourneau to a fight with her six years ago. Valérie has beaten her. Roger says she didn't begin to fight better. So, he knows how to defeat her. I get help in sparring mostly from the guys: Christian, Ryan, Mikey, Das. They are not famous but are good fighters. They work out in Sanford and come to us at Sunrise when Roger asks them to help me. I worked with male fighters during all the camp. In several days, I will go to the last stage of my preparation in Las Vegas. Roger has prepared some good girls for me, but I don't know whom. He says it will be a surprise. I have also worked with Roger's trainee Ronnie Lawrence. Now he went to the UFC 271. Unfortunately, we couldn't work a lot in this camp. But Ronnie always helps me to prepare. Maryna's speed and striking techniques are nothing compared to his. When you get a beating from Ronnie, you aren't afraid of anybody.
